The Haida group includes only two languages—Northern and Southern Haida—which are both spoken in British Columbia.

The Athapascan group is made up of Apache languages (Apache, Kiowa, Navajo), Beaver, Sekani, Babine, Chipewyan, Dogrib, Northern Slavey, Southern Slavey, Ingalit, Kasha, Tagish, Tutchone, etc.

The Tlingit group has but one language—Tlingit.
